The general idea is to keep your 'master' branch in-sync with the
'upstream/master'.

Building JBoss Tools Maven Plugins

To build JBoss Tools Maven Plugins requires specific versions of Java and
Maven. Also, there is some Maven setup. The How to Build JBoss Tools with Maven 3
document will guide you through that setup.

This command will run the build:

$ mvn clean verify

If you just want to check if things compiles/builds you can run:

$ mvn clean verify -DskipTest=true

But do not push changes without having the new and existing unit tests pass!

Contribute fixes and features

JBoss Tools Maven Plugins is open source, and we welcome anybody that wants to
participate and contribute!

If you want to fix a bug or make any changes, please log an issue in
the JBoss Tools JIRA
describing the bug or new feature and give it a component type of
build. Then we highly recommend making the changes on a
topic branch named with the JIRA issue number. For example, this
command creates a branch for the JBIDE-1234 issue:

$ git checkout -b jbide-1234

After you're happy with your changes and a full build (with unit
tests) runs successfully, commit your changes on your topic branch
(with good comments). Then it's time to check for any recent changes
that were made in the official repository:
